1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in
the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and
night.3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his
fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall
prosper.4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation
of the righteous.6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm 2

1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the
LORD, and against his anointed, saying,3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I
begotten thee.8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost
parts of the earth for thy possession.9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's
vessel.10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled
but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Psalm 3

1 LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me
round about.7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek
bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

Psalm 4

1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in
distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love
vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear
when I call unto him.4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.
Selah.5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.6 There be many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy
countenance upon us.7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine
increased.8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in
safety.

Psalm 5

1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer
unto thee, and will look up.4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with
thee.5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful
man.7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear
will I worship toward thy holy temple.8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight
before my face.9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their
throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the
multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy,
because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a
shield.

Psalm 6

1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with
my tears.7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my
weeping.9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed
suddenly.

Psalm 7

1 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me,
and deliver me:2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him
that without cause is mine enemy:)5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the
earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and
awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore
return thou on high.8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and
according to mine integrity that is in me.9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the
righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.10 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against
the persecutors.14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth
falsehood.15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down
upon his own pate.17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name
of the LORD most high.

Psalm 8

1 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory
above the heavens.2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine
enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou
hast ordained;4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory
and honour.6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things
under his feet:7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths
of the seas.9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Psalm 9

1 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous
works.2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their
name for ever and ever.6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities;
their memorial is perished with them.7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people
in uprightness.9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not
forsaken them that seek thee.11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of
the humble.13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me,
thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:14 That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will
rejoice in thy salvation.15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their
own foot taken.16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work
of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not
perish for ever.19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

Psalm 10

1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that
they have imagined.3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD
abhorreth.4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in
all his thoughts.5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all
his enemies, he puffeth at them.6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and
vanity.8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder
the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he
doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see
it.12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require
it.14 Thou hast seen it: for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand:
the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou
find none.16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou
wilt cause thine ear to hear:18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more
oppress.

Psalm 11

1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that
they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his
eyelids try, the children of men.5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul
hateth.6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this
shall be the portion of their cup.7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

Psalm 12

1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children
of men.2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double
heart do they speak.3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over
us?5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith
the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified
seven times.7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

Psalm 13

1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from
me?2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long
shall mine enemy be exalted over me?3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice
when I am moved.5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

Psalm 14

1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done
abominable works, there is none that doeth good.2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that
did understand, and seek God.3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth
good, no, not one.4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread,
and call not upon the LORD.5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the
captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Psalm 15

1 LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his
heart.3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a
reproach against his neighbour.4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He
that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He
that doeth these things shall never be moved.

Psalm 16

1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to
thee;3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my
delight.4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings
of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night
seasons.8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be
moved.9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see
corruption.11 Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right
hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Psalm 17

1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not
out of feigned lips.2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are
equal.3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and
shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of
the destroyer.5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and
hear my speech.7 Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put
their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.10 They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the
earth;12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in
secret places.13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is
thy sword:14 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in
this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children,
and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake,
with thy likeness.

Psalm 18

1 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I
will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine
enemies.4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of
his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were
shaken, because he was wroth.8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals
were kindled by it.9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and
thick clouds of the skies.12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of
fire.13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and
coals of fire.14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and
discomfited them.15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered
at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too
strong for me.18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in
me.20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my
hands hath he recompensed me.21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the
cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.25 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt show
thyself upright;26 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt show thyself
froward.27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all
those that trust in him.31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me
up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they
were consumed.38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those
that rose up against me.40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate
me.41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them
not.42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt
in the streets.43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head
of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves
unto me.45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up
against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises
unto thy name.50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and showeth mercy to his anointed, to David,
and to his seed for evermore.

Psalm 19

1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork.2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.
In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run
a race.6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and
there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure,
making wise the simple.8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is
pure, enlightening the eyes.9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and
righteous altogether.10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than
honey and the honeycomb.11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me:
then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight,
O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Psalm 20

1 The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners:
the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.6 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with
the saving strength of his right hand.7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD
our God.8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

Psalm 21

1 The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he
rejoice!2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips.
Selah.3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure
gold on his head.4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.5 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy
countenance.7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not
be moved.8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that
hate thee.9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow
them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children
of men.11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are
not able to perform.12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows
upon thy strings against the face of them.13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.

Psalm 22

1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and
from the words of my roaring?2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am
not silent.3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head,
saying,8 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he
delighted in him.9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my
mother's breasts.10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it
is melted in the midst of my bowels.15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou
hast brought me into the dust of death.16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced
my hands and my feet.17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I
praise thee.23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him,
all ye the seed of Israel.24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he
hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them
that fear him.26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your
heart shall live for ever.27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds
of the nations shall worship before thee.28 For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the
dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born,
that he hath done this.

Psalm 23

1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for
thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head
with oil; my cup runneth over.6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in
the house of the LORD for ever.

Psalm 24

1 The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell
therein.2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity,
nor sworn deceitfully.5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his
salvation.6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of
glory shall come in.8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of
glory shall come in.10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Psalm 25

1 Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without
cause.4 Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I
wait all the day.6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever
of old.7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy
remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his
testimonies.11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall
choose.13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

Psalm 26

1 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the
LORD; therefore I shall not slide.2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.5 I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit with the wicked.6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour
dwelleth.9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.

Psalm 27

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of
my life; of whom shall I be afraid?2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they
stumbled and fell.3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise
against me, in this will I be confident.4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the
house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to
inquire in his temple.5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his
tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I
offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the
LORD.7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my
help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up
against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the
living.14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say,
on the LORD.

Psalm 28

1 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to
me, I become like them that go down into the pit.2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward
thy holy oracle.3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to
their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours:
give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.5 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall
destroy them, and not build them up.6 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped:
therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.8 The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

Psalm 29

1 Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of
holiness.3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon
many waters.4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his
temple doth every one speak of his glory.10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

Psalm 30

1 I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to
rejoice over me.2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I
should not go down to the pit.4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his
holiness.5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a
night, but joy cometh in the morning.6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.7 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy
face, and I was troubled.8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee?
shall it declare thy truth?10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and
girded me with gladness;12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I
will give thanks unto thee for ever.
